The existing clamp generally uses a metal wire as a hasp when being fixed, and the hasp is made to pass the dead point position when the handle is swung to achieve the tightening effect. However, the metal wire is generally straight-pulled, and the range of elastic deformation is small, which leads to the fact that the opening size of the clamp has an extremely limited adaptive range when being locked, thereby affecting the shock resistance and easily causing stress concentration of the quick coupling and breakage. Meanwhile, the overall stability is poor, and it is also difficult to quickly and accurately install the hasp in place in the blind state. SUMMARY
